Thread: Winged Demon that I'm working on

Tweet

i really like the work you have done there. One of the more creative uses / mods on a blucky that i have seen in awhile

holy crap! that looks great! i wish i wasn't so impatient, i love to do things like this, but i always end up getting frustrated and snapping at the people around me when the project isn't going as quickly as i like.

Rottin corps here I know it's alittle late but how did the porject turn out.
were do you get those buckys at everwere aruond here there $20.00
and thats too dang much oh and did I menchinI'm cheep.

Rottin, I haven't finished him yet. I'm currently adding flesh (cotton batting and latex) to him. I'll be posting an update pic soon.

The blucky that I am using is the small 2' one from Oriental Trading. They sell them for $2.50.

Cheap is always a good price Rottin!

The hands and feet are done (attached and latexed). Between constructing and attaching, this was the most labor intensive part of the project.

I'm working on the limbs/joints and into the torso with latex and cotton now. I'm wanting to keep this sparse as I want my baby demon to be more skeletal than zombiefied.Please note that in these pics, the latex is white because it's still wet.





The last step after this is done is airbrushing unless I decide to do something else heheh

I can't wait to see the finished project. He, or is it a she? is looking so great!

I named him Moe because I'm planning on making three of them. Their names will be Moe, Larry and Curly

I did a bit more work on Moe tonight but it's silly to post pics of a redundant process (laying cotton and latex). I'll post update pics when it takes more shape unless you all ask me to do so now.

I've had questions about the latex that I'm using...

Here's a pic of the inside of the can of Elmer's Flooring Adhesive (carpet latex) that I use. The consistency is like a stiff cake frosting or peanut butter. And it's very sticky.

I did a test of watering it down which went well, but it dried softer (more pliable) than using it straight when testing on cotton batting. But it did spread smoother. I can definitely see applications for watering it down when working in small/tight spots though.

I hope this helps to answer any questions about it.

Moe Larry & Curly! That's a scream! A never-ending one If you put a small wiper motor between the wings, you might get them to move back-forth a little, couple inches would be all you'd need for the effect.. They are really good!

Oh, have you found that one thread abt basic blucky animation? Cut the nub off the top of the spine, put a servo flush with the top of the spine, tie-wrap pulled tight around the outside of the spine to secure it in place(or a drop or two of hot-glue). I slit the back of the skull slightly to fit one of the arms of the red 4-arm servo arm inside, hot-glued/screw the other 3 arms to the outside of the base of the skull, put the skull on the servo, fired up VSA and it can swing back and forth..
